The issue is the wire you attached the red wire of the controller to. Sounds like you attached it to the wrong circuit of your brake pedal switch wiring. You need to find the circuit there that only sees voltage when the brakes are applied and then none when released. That is the circuit that will allow the controller to work and will prevent the error codes you are seeing on your dash.
